Abstract

W. J. Lynch and M. E. Carroll's (see record 2001-06653-001) review argues aversive effects and for satiation and direct effects as the mechanisms responsible for the descending limb of the dose-response function. Analysis is provided that suggests they may prematurely dispose of the aversive-effects account. Further analysis of the evidence for satiation and direct effects supports the authors' contention that neither can be exclusively supported. A brief behavioral–economic analysis of drug-intake regulation and the descending limb of the dose-response function is presented.
